House music originated in Chicago in the early 1980s and started being played at clubs like the Club Warehouse. It then spread to Europe and became infused in mainstream pop and dance music worldwide by the mid-1990s. House music has variations like garage, funky house, and electronica that all stem from the original house beat. The effect of house music on people is that it instantly makes them want to dance through its beat, which takes over the body like a drug.
